Hähä

Anyone know how the Wayland driver in WINE will impact? I mean Wine works on XWayland so far, so what can we expect to get better with native Wayland support? I’ve searched a bit in web, but its hard to find some definitive answers (lots of general WINE and Wayland topics, often outdated).

Does it happen with a fresh Firefox profile too? Run firefox --ProfileManager to open the GUI, click Create Profile and then Start Firefox with it. After checking if you still have the issue, go back to this menu and select your previous original Profile to restore it.

God bless your innocent soul.

And the irony that Microsoft employees are working on Linux too. :D

Short: I forgot the /etc/fstab mount entry

I’m not sure if the following counts as stupid, but here is one where I almost wiped my system and reinstalled everything. I have some entries in the /etc/fstab to bind certain directories to specific locations in my home, to keep it modular (doing this since over 10 years). One day I replaced one of the internal harddrives and then the system would no longer boot up, because the it tries to mount a non existent drive.

Due to my long years of experience and wisdom with Linux, I thought that either the new drive was broken or I something from my body sparked over the board. It took me several minutes until I realized what actually happened and then everything was fine.

BTW in EndeavourOS when this happens again (and it did) then while boot the system asks me to ignore that entry and continue. Which is soooo useful and don’t know why this was never asked before (before I was on EndeavourOS).

Skill issues.

Just joking. These are Vulkan features to support. Normal users usually don’t read those and are not meant for anyway. The first part tells you the feature itself such as VK_EXT_descriptor and the second part with “on” tells you on what hardware driver it connects to, such as nvk for Nvidia Vulkan or radv for Radeon AMD Vulkan driver.

You can actually lookup the Vulkan features supported on your hardware. Depends on what driver and hardware you are using. The Nvidia panel list them somewhere (I’m no longer Nvidia user) and on AMD you can in example lookup in KDE Info Center. I’m also a noob and that’s all I know. :D

This vision often includes harnessing so-called blockchains, the technology behind cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, which is decentralized. In other words, no single entity has power over the system.

Mastodon, Lemmy, kbin and in general the Fediverse shows that no blockchain is needed to achieve that goal.

FLTK compared to GTK and QT is lightweight, less complicated to learn and program in and is statically linked, meaning no runtime dependency required, while still being very small in binary size. As an example the FLUID program to create a GUI itself contains every widget and the binary is only half a megabyte. More about FLTK here: https://www.fltk.org/doc-1.3/intro.html

At the moment though, there is no single likely alternative to Chrome’s dominance. But perhaps that’s for the better.

First off, why is it for the better not having no alternative? Secondly Firefox IS an alternative to Chrome.

BTW, this Magic Lasso is an ad blocker for Safari.

I don’t like Twitter, but I am also not for banning a service or application nationwide. This should be the choice of the user. Do not take away freedom of choice, regardless of your feelings, believes or what you like. Do not be like China or Russia.

Instead fight against the actual problem, like disinformation or whatever it is. I’m absolutely against such a ban.
